Rigging the Future: Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases With No Function Beyond Gathering Potential Voter Information, Real or Fraudulent

Since the passage of Obamacare, all fifty state Medicaid agencies have been forced to create a new standalone database that contains nothing besides the contact information of Medicaid applicants who used Healthcare.gov. 
Some of these new databases mail out voter registration forms automatically. You cannot refuse them.
No worthwhile verification occurs before the forms are mailed. Apply for Medicaid and the form will be mailed to you, be you a verifiable citizen or Ayman al-Zawahiri on a computer in Pakistan.
Further, these new databases are accessible by groups like Organizing for Action, the reconstituted ACORN, and malevolent figures like Chris Tarango.
And no reasonable purpose exists for creating the databases besides making them available to the aforementioned Democratic activists.
Heard nothing regarding this before? Not only are you not alone, several state secretaries of State we contacted had no clue any of this was occurring under their watch. One source involved in the recently initiated legal battle to expose and dismantle the databases described the situation as follows:
Evil genius.
A complete disregard for certain federal law, the skirting of others, the exploitation of existing Medicaid structures, the issuing of rules and regulations with virtually none of the required paper trail. …
Just evil genius. They friggin’ thought of everything.
The remainder of this article is composed of descriptions of the several decisions made by Obamacare authors that led to the construction of the databases. The listing of these decisions is intended to illustrate the impossibility that these databases were created unintentionally, or due to incompetence — a “fumble.”

Where O Where Has ACORN Gone? Have the Nuts Multiplied?

My latest article talks about the campaign and "community-organizing" efforts that the DNC have put in place specifically to get Obama re-elected. ~ Diane
 
Where O Where Has ACORN Gone? Have the Nuts Multiplied?


by Diane Rufino, July 29, 2012

On July 24, in the county seat of Greenville, NC, the Pitt County Board of Elections gave the green light to a revised plan for early voting which will include two Sundays. The Board voted as such even though the majority of people and groups who turned out for a hearing on the plan opposed any voting at all on Sunday. It was disclosed in that hearing that the request for Sunday voting came not from voters themselves but from two political organizations - "Organizing for America" (OFA) and the Democratic Party. Both a local representative of OAF and Betsy Leech of the Democratic Party made a request to the Board for a 2-Sunday addition to early voting so that members of black churches can conveniently take advantage of church buses and vote en mass after service.

I wrote an Opinion Letter for my local paper where I took a stand criticizing the decision by the Board to approve Sunday voting and in that letter I equated "Organizing for America" with ACORN ("Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now"). I was informed that my Opinion Letter would have to be revised to remove that reference to ACORN in order to be published. I told the publisher that if he felt it necessary to remove it, then I would have no problem with his decision. After all, as I explained to him, the reference was included more out of cynicism rather than factual journalism. I really just wanted to make the point, as written in that letter:

"Those in favor of Sunday voting claimed that Monday thru Saturday were not sufficient enough. They said that without Sunday voting, they would be disenfranchised, even though there wasn't even an early voting period at all in Pitt County prior to 2000. Opponents talked about the extent of the early voting period, the additional cost to taxpayers, the burden to poll workers (4 straight weeks without a day off), and the hostility of the plan to religious concerns.

The bottom line is that the plan advances the interests of a political party and not the interests of the majority of voters. Furthermore, the existing early-voting period, which provides extended hours at convenient locations for 2 1/2 weeks and allows 60 days for anyone to submit an absentee ballot, is an inclusive, neutral accommodation for ALL voters. It is more than enough of an opportunity to get out and vote. It is more than accommodating. Anyone who is truly committed to exercising their right to vote will do so and will find the time and opportunity.

The Board ignored the legitimate concerns of the majority who opposed Sunday voting and instead endorsed a political agenda."

But that being said, there was a reason that I did make that particular reference to ACORN and I believe my cynicism is not completely unfounded. I'd like to take this opportunity to explain why I felt justified.

The research I had done on "Organizing for America" after the hearing in front of the Pitt County Board of Elections on July 24 highlighted some connections with ACORN. Tenuous connections? Maybe. Suspicious connections? Maybe. Of course, I'm not in a position to conclude which is most likely. After all, with Obama, you'll never be able to cut through all the layers of deception and corruption in order to find the truth. We learned that first hand when he threw "transparency" out the window in his blind ambition to pass the healthcare bill.

Following the hearing, I immediately went to my computer. I wanted to find out exactly what this organization "Organizing for America" was all about. When it was clear that this organization joined with the Pitt County Democratic Party to push for Sunday voting, I wanted to find out the connection. I indeed found the connection and in doing so, it became very clear that the "community organizing" themes of ACORN are also evident in OFA and in its voter-registration arm, "Project Vote." In fact, in doing the research I had to walk away from the documents many times because the distinctions between OFA and PV were so blurred that I was getting too confused.

"Organizing for America" and "Project Vote"

Before Obama even took office in 2009, he announced that his election campaign, "Obama for America" (2008) was switching its name to "Organizing for America" (OFA). According to the research, the president's re-election campaign was formally launched and filed with the FEC in April 2011. It includes the affiliate organization "Project Vote," a 2012 voter-initiative project Both OFA and PV operate out of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). ACORN, which worked closely with the Obama campaign in 2008, was forced to disband amidst allegations of voter fraud, election violations (resulting in over $775,000 in fines), embezzlement, and illegality (including the 'pimping' revelation. Thank you Breitbart!). Up until the time it disbanded (or went underground, or re-formed under other names), ACORN was the largest radical leftist group in America.

[Obama was not honest about his relationship with ACORN during the 2008 election, even though records exist to support a close association. He worked alongside and protested with ACORN before he became an elected official, he trained ACORN employees, and he represented ACORN in court. There were even pictures of Obama meeting with ACORN leaders on its website before it was "scrubbed clean." In 2008, ACORN canvassed for Obama and his campaign donated $800,000 to it for voter registration efforts. Even though Congress voted to defund ACORN and its affiliates in 2009, that didn't stop Obama from promoting a top ACORN operative, Patrick Gaspard, to a top post in the White House where he is helping to shape domestic policy. Nor did it stop the Obama Administration from giving $560,000 to ACORN affiliates in 2010. "Obama may not know economics. His foreign policy is a disaster. He makes a horrible leader. But, he knows community organizing!"]


OFA was an outgrowth of the president's 2008 election campaign. It was/is referred to and organized as "Obama's permanent campaign." It was created because the White House cannot legally use the 13 million email addresses that the campaign compiled in 2008. OFA was organized to operate under the DNC so that the DNC can do the "dirty work." So, to that end, the political party set this "grassroots movement” up as a DNC 'project' to continue to promote and proselytize on behalf of Barack Obama’s behalf between elections. The countless emails that fill the inboxes of Americans all over the country with the sender name President Barack Obama, for example, are the work of "Organizing for America." The promotion of the healthcare bill with certain demographics is also the work of OFA.

"Organizing for America" is not subject to IRS nonprofit regulations because it has no independent legal status outside the DNC. DNC financial filings disclose little about its structure and day-to-day operations. The party’s spending on the project is not separately accounted for in public disclosures, so its actual scope is difficult to determine. And it's probably safe to say that OFA likes it that way.

OFA is a unique creature. It is creepy. It’s not a permanent political apparatus and is not intended to be. It's goal is to serve only one man - Barack Obama. It’s a permanent personal apparatus built around one man, meant to reinforce his cult of personality. It is meant to identify his unique racial status with those of the demographic he identifies with. It is a "unique opportunity" to milk his ascension for all its worth. As a representative of ACORN wrote in 2009: "ACORN’s grassroots leadership believes we are experiencing a once-in-a-generation opportunity and must not squander this moment." OFA is the machinery put in place to make sure the DNC doesn't squander this moment - the election of a man like Obama. There has never been any intention of making the group a permanent component of the Democratic Party. OFA has precious little to do with any permanent goals of the DNC. And "Project Vote" is its affiliate organization -- its voter registration arm.


"Project Vote," a Washington, DC-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was organized to increase the votes of marginalized and under-represented voters (ie, minority voters, college-age voters, senior citizens, and gays/lesbians). In August 2011, President Obama's re-election campaign announced "Project Vote" as a campaign-within-a-campaign that is aimed at increasing registration and participation among his "Democratic base constituencies." Obama and his representatives have declared that the goal is it to expand the electorate. As one official noted: "That's how we won in 2008, and we think that's the path to victory again in 2012.... Project Vote will drive our campaign strategy - from paid media, to digital outreach, to grassroots organizing and voter registration efforts - to communicate with and engage key demographic groups, such as African Americans, Youth, Latinos, LGBT, and others."

Many refer to "Project Vote" as "ACORN'S sister organization" because ACORN tactics are clearly associated with it. Others refer to "Project Vote" as "ACORN'S close 501(c)(3)-affiliate." And still others who have been following ACORN's voter fraud allegations and convictions call Project Vote “the branch of ACORN that’s most notorious for voter fraud.” Even Obama himself acknowledged: “Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

Project Vote lists its field director as Amy Busefink. Ms. Busefink is a former ACORN worker who was convicted of two counts of conspiracy to commit voter-fraud (in compensating people for the registration of voters). Furthermore, one of the leaders of "Project Vote" is also a national director at "Organizing for America." The groups clearly share commonality and shared resources, even if only in knowledge, contacts, and expertise.

In fact, ACORN tactics have been associated with both "Project Vote" and "Organizing for America."

In Virginia, the OFA improperly entered a high school, posing as a school official, and collected social security numbers. In a separate instance, in a voter drive, they are under investigation for registering Democrats but failing to submit the registration forms of those who checked the box labeled "republican." (147 registration forms).

Carol Greenberg, an undercover investigative journalist, worked with OFA. She was trained to enter voter data. She said that she received an email alerting her to an “OFA Training Seminar” which informed her that there was to be a 4-hour session on community organizing - "the President's way." At the bottom of the email were the words "Project of the DNC." Of course we all know that Obama helped train ACORN leaders. In 1992, he worked alongside the radical group. [Note that Obama continues to deny that he had any connections with ACORN, but the truth is that when he ran "Project Vote" voter drives, he worked closely with ACORN and acknowledged how grateful he was for their help].

According to research by Matthew Vadum, which he published, "Organizing for America" is a phony grassroots campaign run by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that is charged with duplicating the community organizing techniques that Obama learned from the teachings of his fellow Chicagoan, Saul Alinsky. As Vadum has written, the Democrats recognize that the days when political parties could rest easy between elections are long gone and they must apply constant pressure and must send out a constant message, and so, OFA is the campaign apparatus dedicated to that task. It is solely dedicated to singing the praises of the Obama administration, blaming others for failures, and enhancing the support of key demographics. Furthermore, he has concluded that there is “no wall of separation” between Project Vote and ACORN ("Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now") and that "with respect to registration and mobilization campaigns, ACORN and Project Vote work together to the point where it is a difficult, if not impossible, to tell the difference. They share staff, office space, and money.”

"Organizing for Obama" or "Organizing for America": Which is it? (The former is more likely)

Groups such as OFA, PV, and ACORN exist because of the perception that the United States is a nation rife with racism and injustice. And who is it that perpetuates that myth? None other than our president. He talks about hardworking individuals paying "their fair share" (ie, paying more in taxes) so that those at the bottom can be further relieved of the consequences of their life choices. He is the first to jump to conclusions when there is an incident involving a white policeman and a black suspect. He is the first to perpetuate stereotypes when a black teen is killed under suspicious circumstances. He is the first to suggest that schools still treat black students differently than other students. In fact, on July 26, he issued an Executive Order entitled "President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans.” This EO will establish a government panel to promote “a positive school climate that does not rely on methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools.” In other words, schools will have to discipline black students less, or discipline other types of students more. According to the EO: “African Americans lack equal access to highly effective teachers and principals, safe schools, and challenging college-preparatory classes, and they disproportionately experience school discipline." In order to pander to his constituency, he pretends that he doesn't understand the reason for the high rate of discipline among black students. He claims to be part of that community yet doesn't seem to understand the real world. According to Roger Clegg, president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, "A disproportionate share of crimes are committed by African Americans, and they are disproportionately likely to misbehave in school because more than 7 out of 10 African Americans (72.5%) are born out of wedlock - versus fewer than 3 out of 10 whites... Although you won’t see it mentioned in the Executive Order, there is an obvious connection between the percentage of children born out of wedlock and how each group is doing educationally, economically, criminally.” What this will mean is that whites and Asians will get suspended for things that blacks don’t get suspended for in an attempt to level out the degree of punishment among ethnic groups. This is the mentality behind the groping at airports by the TSA. Homeland Security knows it just needs to profile one particular group but because that will set the ACLU into a frenzy, TSA must frisk, grope, and scan Miss America, little Johnny, and granny.

President Obama has also issued an Execute Order on June 15 in which he announced that the United States will stop deporting hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants who have been educated here in the country (high school diploma or GED) and will give them work permits. Our chief law enforcement officer has announced that he will enforce federal laws selectively. Legal American citizens cannot break federal law or they will be punished, without a doubt. Just ask anyone who earns enough money and has made an error on their tax return. Ask any farmer who has inadvertently failed to make necessary filings with the EPA.

We have a President who, for the first time since the Civil Rights era, highlights race and pits races against one another. By many accounts, he has set race relations way back. He also pits the poor against the middle class and the wealthy. Not in a very long time has the government encouraged the less fortunate to take note of what others have rather than encourage them to do more for themselves. But apparently, his "community organizing" training must have taught him that pitting groups of people against each other is good policy. Maybe it was Bill Ayers who taught him that, or Saul Alinsky, or even Reverend Wright. Obama is a smart man and blindly and fatally ambitious, and so he would not pursue such a nationally harmful social policy if it did not translate into political support. Never mind the history we've built over the years of national unity.

Of course the message of racism and injustice is a self-serving message. He is the one who benefits most from it because of the work of such groups as OFA and PV. He fuels the vicious cycle with his words and his policies. For example, OFA and PV use their outlets to emphasize universal healthcare. Why do they do this? Why was universal healthcare such an important issue for ACORN? According to an internal ACORN memorandum that Michele Malkin uncovered in August 2008, the reason is clear. That memo read: "Over our 38 years, health care organizing has never been a major focus either nationally or locally for us. But increasingly, our offices around the country are doing work on health care to build ACORN Power." The memo explains how the organization could then "parlay political victory on government-run health care to move our ACORN agenda forward... or parts of it that we might not otherwise be able to pull off." In other words, the objective of ACORN in pushing universal healthcare - a socialist program, a program that ensures the poor an entitlement - is to piggyback the political power it will bring to improve their political longevity and power. What will the next socialist program be? Surely the race-based programs that Obama and Eric Holder have pursued will consolidate votes, right ? Surely the forced redistribution of wealth will be another attractive scheme.

In 2010, there was a big push to show that ACORN was going away. News outlets such as the NY Times, Politico, and others ran stories announcing its demise. After all, ACORN officials had been convicted of massive voter registration and election fraud. But most believe it was merely just 'smoke and mirrors.' As one commentator wrote: "In an age of lawlessness, rules for some out of government favor, and special privileges for special classes, racketeers and criminals need only change their suit and their hat and live another day to rob, steal, cheat, and engage in human trafficking... "


But then other organizations, with strikingly similar themes and tactics arose.... "Project Vote" and "Organizing for America," and others. They use the same message of disenfranchisement and inequality that ACORN used and they organize communities in the same manner, using the same tactics. ACORN is a Marxist/socialist organization that protests and demonizes capitalism. They offer hope and change to minority groups, most of which are in poverty, by suggesting they can rise out of their poverty by demanding "their fair share" of the nation's wealth. Of course, the underlying message is that they must work together en masse to exert the political power they need to effect such "hope and change." There can be no doubt that this game-plan is still alive and well. Obama is their champion because, for all intents and purposes, he is "one of them." He comes from their communities, he's worked in their communities, and he himself is a minority. He shares the same color skin.

This is not to suggest that ACORN targets see the office of the presidency as one open to affirmative action, but an African-American finally sitting in the office of the presidency is indeed a historic event. It is a testament to our racial indifference. But the office of the presidency, now in 2012, also faces another historic opportunity - to look beyond race, to look beyond a "Saul Alinsky" type power play, and to look beyond "one's fair share of the nation's wealth" to save the nation from a crisis that threatens its security, its integrity, and its longevity as "the land of the free."

On election night 2008, Obama had this to say: “This victory alone is not the change we seek... It is only the chance for us to make that change.” We couldn't have appreciated the significance of that statement at the time. After all, he had no record to run on and the details of his life have been sealed from public scrutiny. His Senate record is one that can be summed up in one word - "Present." Now we know what kind of change Obama sought and continues to seek - the fundamental transformation of America. We have a taste of that change and it isn't compatible with the American spirit of liberty, ambition, and resourcefulness. It hasn't worked and it isn't working. It won't work without destroying the fundamental institutions that protect the rights and interests of free men. Americans won't tolerate the downgrade. They won't embrace the notion of socialist policies and redistribution. They understand what surely lies at the end of that road - the redistribution of poverty and mediocrity.

R. R. Reno writes, in his article The One Percent: "Over the past fifty years, household income for the top 1 percent has grown from $200,000 (in today’s dollars) to $400,000. Meanwhile, household income for the bottom half of Americans has stayed flat, and would have fallen for many were it not for increased spending on government programs and the earned income tax credit. Liberals presume that the income gap is the problem. We need to combat income inequality, we are told, which means raising taxes on the winners in the global economy, so that the government can transfer even more wealth to the poor. Murray’s analysis is important because it indicates that this alone won’t reduce the growing and troubling divide between Americans, because the difference is more a function of moral character than income and assets. It’s the culture, stupid."

Reno references a book by Charles Murray entitled Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960–2010, in which the author talks about two different communities, each populated by one of two classes of people. One class includes those who are well-educated and professionally successful. Murray calls this class the new upper class. The other class includes those people with blue-collar or low-level office jobs and no academic degree more advanced than a high-school diploma. Murray says that these people make up the working class that is becoming America’s new lower class. At least 85% of families remain intact in the upper class. The divorce rate mirrors that of the 50's. Family values are strong. In the new lower class, however, less than 50% of young and middle-age adults are married. Their divorce rate is around 35%. Nearly 25% of children are being raised by single mothers. Only 30% of children are living with both biological parents by the time their mothers turn forty. Among mothers who drop out of high school, 60% of their children are illegitimate. This collapse of marriage and the family unit, Murray writes, “calls into question the viability of white working-class communities as a place for socializing the next generation.”

Reno writes: " There are other signs of crisis (in America). Prime-age white working-class males have increasingly dropped out of the full-time work force, and the same males are dramatically more likely to be in prison now than in 1960. Far fewer are likely to go to church or be involved in any civic or community organizations.

Murray comes up with a very useful measure of community dysfunction: the percentage of 'problematic people,' which he arrives at by combining prime-age males not making a living, single mothers raising children, a guesstimate of prime-age adults who are living alone, and those uninvolved in any community activity." In the past 50 years, the percentage of 'problematic people' has increased by over 30%. "These statistical trends are among the reason why white working-class communities in America, whether in rural Iowa or ethnic Philadelphia, are more violent, less cohesive, and less pleasant places to live. Because we’re fallen creatures who tend toward lust, sloth, and greed, our communities require constant reinforcement and renewal. If the fundamental social mechanisms for renewal are diminished—marriage, parenting, productive work, interpersonal trust, and religious or communal involvement—then the social law of entropy takes over, which is what is happening today in poor American communities."

Reno suggests that the plight of the lower class can be improved by emphasizing moral values. "Murray shows that if people at the bottom of the economic ladder have high work satisfaction, are married, experience levels of social trust, and engage in weekly worship, they have exactly the same self-reported happiness as upper class types who have the same qualities. This suggests that there is no inherent barrier to happiness for a person with a low level of education holding a low-skill job." The problem, Reno writes, is that lower class communities do not have enough political and social support to encourage the sorts of attitudes and behaviors necessary for happiness.


"Far fewer in the lower class than in the upper class are married and go to church. Meanwhile, crime and a lack of communal engagement reduces social trust. One reason for this social disarray is a lack of a strong moral consensus." Our crass and often crude popular culture deforms many lives, often glorified by the nonjudgmental ethic endorsed by the upper class Hollywood types, reality TV (Jersey Shore, for example), and the pop and hip-hop/rap music industry. The lower class desperately needs the sorts of moral statements and investments by the wealthy entertainment industry in order to rebuild and re-focus the youth in their communities and help build the kind of character needed to advance to the upper class. But the entertainment industry continues to let them down. It's a money thing. Hollywood types need their multi-millions, their million dollar estates, their New York penthouses, and their fancy cars and wardrobes.

This is the reality of America. Times have changed, but more importantly, people and values have changed. But the values needed in a successful marketplace have not changed. The bottom line is that people hold the power over their destiny and the key to their own success.


And so Americans need to look beyond the distorted messages of "Organizing for America" and "Project Vote" and their distorted statistics and distorted sense of fairness. President Obama's policies are not working. For the sake of redistributing our nation's wealth and opportunities from those who have "earned success" to others less fortunate - without that one little "proviso" (which is "hard work and sacrifice !") - our current administration has institutionalized punishment as its policy towards those who are successful. Success is taxed, berated, underappreciated, regulated, and then taxed some more. After all, Obama has to find some way to pay for the campaign promises he makes. He has to find some way to make a success story out of his unconstitutional, liberty-killing healthcare scheme.

Obama's policies are causing people to question what our nation stands for. Do we intend to excel, which means competition and reward must be honored, or do we sink to the depths of despair so that the success of some won't offend other's notion of fairness? Do we intend to continue punishing success so that businesses cannot grow and create jobs? Or do we want to push individual self-improvement policies so that more people can contribute meaningfully, feel the sense of pride in earned success, and not become fastened to the government teet? Do we intend to trust ourselves to run our own lives and affairs or do we think a group of political elites in Washington DC can do a better job? Are we willing to use our liberties wisely and responsibly and respectfully, or must government continue to promulgate laws to regulate our every move?

Obama's policies and rhetoric are dividing us along racial and social lines. He is causing us to point fingers at one another and question the worth of every individual. He is creating classifications such as liberal vs. rightwing extremist, black vs. white, minority vs. non-minority (classifications on job applications are getting more and more numerous and detailed), rich vs. poor, educated vs. uneducated, legal vs. illegal, entitled vs. not entitled, taxpayer vs. non-taxpayer, taxpayer vs. freeloader, contributor vs. taker, "personally responsible" vs. dependent, "those who are part of the problem" vs. "those who are part of the solution," and the "haves" vs. the "have-nots." There are extremes. People are no longer just fellow Americans. They come with labels now. And depending on those labels, we discriminate. At least that's what the government accuses us of. But the fact is that every choice involves a discrimination of some sort.

Our president's policies are also dividing us along ideological lines. He is a progressive-thinker. There is no doubt about it. He believes in government socialist policies and relaxed social norms. Either you believe in big government or limited government. Either you believe in government-controlled healthcare or you don't. Either you believe the Constitution should be taken literally or you believe it has lost its relevance and therefore can be interpreted willy nilly. Either you believe that government should regulate the economy to ensure artificial results (government picking winners and losers) or you believe in the free market economy (competition determining winners and losers). Either you believe that the government should respect state laws (such as marriage, healthcare, voting integrity) or you believe that the government should require a "one size fits all" approach. Either you believe in gay marriage or you don't. Either you believe in the sanctity of human life or you think the right to be free of an unwanted pregnancy at any time before delivery is more important. Either you believe in amnesty for illegal immigrants or you don't. Either you believe in a fair tax scheme or you believe that only those who make "enough" should be forced to contribute to the funding of the country. Either you see an inherent unfairness in half of Americans paying income tax to provide the revenue to fund the government while the other half pay nothing or you don't. Either you believe Joe Biden's statement that it is the patriotic duty of the wealthy to pay even higher rates of taxation or you see an inherent unfairness in the government confiscation of a person's wealth and property. Either you respect the contributions to this nation by the wealthy or you hate them and blame them for all our country's ills. Either you believe in personal responsibility or you believe the government should relieve you of the consequences of your actions and decisions. Either you believe it is the job of parents to raise their children and make decisions on their behalf or you believe that's government's job. Either you believe in the forced government redistribution of wealth or you believe that the government's job is to protect an individual's life, liberty, and property so that he can enjoy the fruits of his own labor. If you support Obama, you must support his progressive policies. And if you support his progressive policies, then you willingly agree to abandon or erode the noble principles on which our great country was founded.

In the ambitious quest for votes above the nation's best interests, politics has become a game of extremes rather than common interests and solutions. We've become a nation of deep ideological differences. A house divided cannot exist.

And the integrity of the house - OUR house - is what is at stake in this election. Our nation's soul shouldn't be for sale because of the opportunity to capitalize on the election of a man that doesn't look and think like the presidents before him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Our Nation in peril by CCTA Member, Lou Call

March 23, 2012
Beaufor Observer
We need to be aware of certain machinations that have occurred in past elections that will continue unless we present a united front to these autocracies and secure an honest representation on Election Day, 2012. I am referring to the need for Voter ID's.

The liberal media will not publish what you are about to read; if you are aware, they are hoping you will forget.

First, ACORN is alive and well operating throughout the Country under different aliases. As an example in New York they are now NYCC, New York Communities for Change and occupy the old ACORN office in Brooklyn. In California it's the ACCE, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment. So what's the big deal you ask, they just changed the name.

Well for one thing, Obama and Company are still funding ACORN. One of those ACORN offshoots is the Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA), which was previously known as ACORN Housing. According to Judicial Watch, in July of 2011, they uncovered a $79,819 grant to AHCOA. The Obama administration claimed this grant did not violate the ban because the two organizations were separate and distinct.

An investigative article by columnist Matthew Vadum in the Washington Times on November 28th of 2011 reported that the Obama administration had showered its allies at ACORN Housing with $729,849 so far this year despite powerful, newly unveiled evidence of corruption and massive accounting irregularities at the longtime affiliate of ACORN.

But what about voter fraud (irregularities)? To answer this question we need to look back a few years ago in Nevada when senior ACORN executive Amy Adele Busefink was given a jail sentence of two years for her role in ACORN's fraud-ridden 2008 voter registration drive which procured an astounding 400,000 bogus registrations. (Of course a liberal judge suspended her sentence provided that she abides by the terms of her probation and paid a $4000 fine).

More recently, in Troy New York there is a democratic City Councilmen along with three Democratic operatives who pleaded guilty to felony charges in a voter fraud scandal to try to steal the primary election. Fraudulent Absentee Ballots tied to an ACORN affiliate The Working Families Party were involved.

Still think voter ID is a bad idea? Doesn't it strike you as strange that the majority of opposition over voter ID is coming from left leaning progressives in the democratic party? What can you do to prevent this? You can call, email or write a letter to our Governor demanding that voter ID be placed on the ballot and let the voters decide; be sure to include our State representatives too.

As November draws closer, the year ahead will be a turning point for our great Nation. At stake are the very liberties and freedoms that most of us grew up under. If we allow the Socialists and Marxist to dictate our future, we will have condemned our children and grand children to a life under the dictates of the government. It is that government that will decide the fate of their lives and the direction in which they will go.

OPINION: Voter fraud unacceptable

Published by The Reporter



Posted: 01/14/2012 01:06:45 AM PST

Reporter columnist Dannette Mitchell's article ("Adapt to new voting rules," Jan. 7) does an excellent job of regurgitating the Obama/Democratic/progressive talking points provided to their minions. In an attempt to distract voters, they hope you will overlook their dismal performance in the last three years and jump on the class-warfare and discrimination train. Unfortunately, for them, the discrimination train has already left the station.

Ms. Mitchell's problem is with the new laws that require a photo ID to register and vote. You have to wonder why Democrats are so dead-set against photo ID's that they are willing to invoke Jim Crow laws that were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1954. The answer is simple. They don't want voter fraud stopped or hindered because it favors their candidates.

Protecting our elections, ensuring that they are open and honest, is probably the most important thing we can do to protect our republic. Without open and honest elections, we cannot survive as a free nation. You need a photo ID for a driver's license, a passport, to board a plane, to cash a check, to buy cigarettes, to buy alcohol, to enter federal buildings, yet the progressives/Democrats believe that protecting our elections is not important enough to require a photo ID.

In their attempt to thwart the voter ID laws, they revert to the Joseph Goebbels school of propaganda: "If you tell a lie big enough and repeat it often enough, eventually people will believe it." Ms. Mitchell's statement that, "so far, little to no evidence has shown that voter fraud exists," is the perfect example. There are thousands of recorded cases of voter fraud that can be confirmed by a simple Internet search. In 2010, one organization, ACORN, has had 15 workers convicted of voter registration fraud. From 2004 to 2008, there have been 34 cases where ACORN workers have been investigated, arrested or convicted of voter fraud.

In one U.S. district court in 2005, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that 3 percent of the 30,000 individuals called for jury duty from the voter registration rolls were not U.S. citizens. If you're not a U.S. citizen and you register to vote, that is fraud. That's 900 cases of voter registration fraud in one district in one investigation.

Henry Lamb: Professional politician; inept President

Several of the Republican candidates have said that the 2012 elections are the most important elections in our lifetime. They are. The current powers in Washington, most of the media, as well as academia, want the nation to abandon, or at least, to reinterpret the U.S. Constitution to justify the Marxist idea that government should manage society. These folks are winning the battle. They’re winning because they’ve been working at it for a century. “They” are the progressives, like Barack Hussein Obama, who actually believe that government is a better manager of society and the economy than are free people in a free market. Obama apparently believes that his position endows him with the wisdom to make right decisions, regardless of the fact that he has had no real life experience at anything other than organizing street protests.


His ACORN training produced a professional politician with the skills to win every confrontation with complete confidence that the ends justify any means that may be
required. Obama’s history of public service is a history of leaving Chicago’s streets bloody with the losses of people who never knew what hit them. In the Illinois Senate, he voted “present” 129 times in route to the U.S. Senate, where his most important job was to ridicule and embarrass the Bush administration. What a job he did on Bush in 2006 when the debt ceiling had to be raised.

When Obama became President, however, it was a different story. Obama successfully led a willing press to blame the Tea Parties and Congressional Republicans for working to create a total collapse of the American economy just to see that he is not re-elected. Obama is a strikingly effective politician; he is an incredibly inept President.

His adoring press amplified Obama’s criticism of the Republican-controlled House for not approving his jobs bill, which included a healthy tax increase. “We can’t wait,” was his cry to the public. He failed to mention that the Republican House had passed more than 20 jobs bills that the Democrat-controlled Senate refused to even consider. He failed to mention that more than 20,000 jobs were left awaiting only his approval on the Keystone Pipeline project – studied for more than three years by the EPA.

Loyalty to his environmental extremist special interest voters is obviously far more important to Obama than are the privately funded jobs that still await his approval.

ACORN leaders ramp up White House visitations

Author: Strategy developing to tilt elections to Democrats--Operatives of the radical left-wing ideology of ACORN appear to be working with the Obama administration on a strategy to tilt the 2012 elections in favor of Democrats, according to award-winning investigative reporter Matthew Vadum. ACORN leaders have made multiple visits to the Obama White House and the Department of Justice, new evidence shows. Their goal is to get the government to spend more money on registering welfare recipients and the poor, who are typically Democratic voters, said Vadum, author of the explosive new book "Subversion Inc.: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers."

Was the Bank of America ‘Occupation’ a Coordinated, ACORN-Affiliated Attack?

Did an ACORN front group plan and execute last week’s bizarre “Occupation” of a San Francisco Bank of America branch?

As you’ll recall, nearly 100 people were arrested after storming into the bank, chanting slogans and attempting to setup camp indoors. Now, following this incident, some are wondering if an ACORN front group may have been behind the organized chaos.

This Is the Comprehensive List of Those Supporting Occupy Wall St.

“Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.”


That line is one of the famous “Mom-ilies” often heard in homes all around the country. Perhaps mothers have drawn this wisdom from the Bible and Proverbs 13:20:

“He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”

Either way, The Blaze has presented details on the people inside the OWS movement as well as those believed to be supporting it with money, material goods (sleeping bags, non-perishable foods, etc.), organizational skills, and even storage space. We have named names from the White House to the American Nazi Party, we have shown connections to several unions (like SEIU, UFT, and TWU) and pointed out the organizers like the Working Families Party and ACORN.

This morning we ask you to consider the recently posted Official list of Occupy Wall Street’s supporters, sponsors, and sympathizers put together by intrepid blogger Zombie.

Report: ACORN Is Secretly Helping Organize & Fund the ‘Occupy’ Movement

Remember ACORN? If not, try and stretch your memory back to the 2008 presidential campaign and the months that followed.


The controversial community organizing group — which is now defunct — came under fire for purportedly engaging in voter fraud.

Now, Fox News is reporting that the former New York office for ACORN is heavily involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement — so much so, that former members are apparently organizing door-to-door canvassing, events, and other related activities. Considering that this is supposedly a “leaderless” movement, these allegations are curious. Fox News reports:

Obama’s ‘Jobs Bill’ Makes ACORN Eligible for $15 Billion in Taxpayer Money

ACORN and other radical left-wing groups would be eligible for up to $15 billion in federal funding if President Obama’s new economic stimulus package becomes law.


Section 261 of the bill provides $15 billion for “Project Rebuild.” Grants would be given to “qualified nonprofit organizations, businesses or consortia of eligible entities for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed-upon properties and for the stabilization of affected neighborhoods.” Radical groups like ACORN won’t get the whole $15 billion, though, because they will have to compete with state and local governments for the money.

In March of this year, Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave a $79,819 grant to the Miami branch of the massive conglomerate known as ACORN Housing Corp. (AHC). AHC filed papers in 2010 legally changing its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA). The nonprofit corporation owed $162,813 in back taxes to the IRS, states, and cities as of this past July.

Despite the new name, AHCOA is the same old corrupt organization. It even uses AHC’s federal Employer Identification Number (72-1048321). AHCOA operates out of the same office address (209 W. Jackson Blvd., 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60606) and uses the same telephone number (312-939-1611).

I CAN'T BELIEVE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SO BLIND TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE USA IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.


David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C. , Albany , New York , and Dakar , Senegal .. He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976.. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.

He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College . He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus..

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy... Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . ... change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

By passing this along, perhaps it will help to begin the awakening of America as to where we are headed.

WHAT THE GOP NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND!

Chuck Norris: Jiu-jitsu for conservatives
Monday, June 13, 2011


The art of Jiu-Jitsu is to use an opponent's weight and strength to your advantage. I believe this is what the conservatives must do in the coming 2012 presidential election.

Obama's "weight and strength" is that by next year he will have a surplus of $1 billion in campaign money and the mainstream media supporting him. He also has ACORN (or whatever they call themselves now) and other community organizers rallying the liberal troops to make sure he gets re-elected. Add to that his slick-willy youth charm and pseudo-charisma with which he has bamboozled a large part of the American public, who neither follow politics nor understand how he has unraveled the very fabrics of our republic. And tailor that with Obama's unique ability to make one believe he means what he says from a teleprompter, and you have a formidable foe.

But as Rickson Gracie, retired mixed martial artist, an eighth-degree black and red belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a member of the renowned martial arts family – the Gracie family, once said, "If size mattered, the elephant would be the king of the jungle."


How true that is. But it's also true that the elephant here (Obama), despite the shape of the economy, is still leading every single Republican presidential candidate by double-digit margins. A brand new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that Obama is even "ahead of his closest Republican rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, by 13 percentage points – 51 percent to 38 percent."

To be effective, the conservative organizations, independents, libertarians, Republicans, tea partiers, and other grass-root groups across our country must make the people aware that it is time we unite as one voice and, if you will, one Jiu-Jitsu force. And that includes the Republican candidates running for president. If they don't, we will proceed through the presidential primary with politics as usual and get swallowed up in the partisan muck and mire.

As my friend, Mike Huckabee, recently stated on June 3 during a speech at the Clinton School of Public Service: "It's not going to be an easy path for whoever the Republican [nominee] is. Whoever it is is going to come out of a bloody primary, broke and battered, because I anticipate the Republicans will do what they typically do and they'll have a demolition derby, a circular firing squad and load up with bullets and start shooting and then by the time somebody comes out of this thing in let's say April or May, they have very little, little time to recover, they'll never be able to come up with the amount of cash that the incumbent is going to have, and plus he's an incumbent president which means the advantages of flying in on Air Force One and being presidential is very different than being the challenger."

If that is the case, Obama will cruise in and be re-elected.

And if a bloody primary and insufficient campaign funds doesn't dash to the wind the Republican nominee’s chances, then third-party candidates (who will be hailed as constitutionalists or some other unique quality) will split the conservative votes and we won't stand a chance to prevent the majority from re-electing Obama. Did we learn nothing from the 1992 Ross Perot and 1996 Bob Dole political fiascoes and divides?


With no clear frontrunner who has the "weight and strength" of Obama, isn't it relatively easy to see the outcome if we engage now in political business as usual? As Huckabee again noted during his speech, "[T]he fact [is] that, since 1868, only once – in 1980 after Jimmy Carter's first term – has a party been turned out after only one term." (Do we really believe 2012 will see the second time, with President Obama versus one of the present Republican candidates?)

Radical times call for new and radical measures. Formidable opponents require us to abandon business as usual strategies. Do fighters fight the same way in every competition? No, they examine their opponents, their strengths and weaknesses, and adapt accordingly to win. Are all wars won the same way? No, generals and combat strategists examine every variable of their foes and implement a plan on the battlefields that will bring victory. It is going to be the same way in this next presidential race.

So let's try this on for size! What if the Republican candidates got together and in all honesty (and all egos aside) decided to unify and create a collective force that could annihilate the Obama machine because they offered a team (cabinet) of experts and leaders? What if we all require our preferred candidates to lead the way by joining together and working out that team? Since they purport to be able to be the leaders of our divided political landscape, let's see if they have the leadership to rally us together before they are elected.

I'm fully aware of the sizable step of humility they all must make, but, if we all demanded they create a team rather than a solo fighting force, would they not harken to the cries of those who support them? Is the tea party not a good example of what "We the People" can do, when we come together and require something of our leaders? We should demand that the candidates humble themselves, realize the perilous plight of anyone's solo efforts (as Huckabee defined) unify, chart a new course and team strategy, create a prospective presidential cabinet, etc. Then they would recommend to us who is best suited among them to out debate and defeat Obama and Biden. Maybe it would be someone not even among them yet. The others would all have significant positions in the presidential cabinet, so as to help lead our country back on the right path. That would sure test their willingness to serve our country: Are they willing to serve in a presidential cabinet rather than the supreme position?

As the acrostic TEAM explains, "Together Everyone Achieves More." Again, I realize the obstacles for these candidates to overcome their egos and unify as "team leaders," but what other alternatives do we have?

This is the way we can use our conservative Jiu-Jitsu to overpower our opponents, Obama and Biden, and prevail in our political combat.

Sun Journal Letter to the Editor: CCTA Member Louis Call

ACORNS grow
May 8, 2011

Folks may have thought that ACORN was out of business after federal funding was cut but not so, as the Judicial Watch group recently reported. According to Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, “today ACORN is alive and well, splintered into rebranded local chapters across the country.” As an example, ACORN affiliates in various states are changing their names in a desperate bid to restore federal grants and other revenue sources.

As an example, in New York, ACORN is New York Communities for Change. In Arkansas, ACORN has become Arkansas Community Organizations; in Missouri, ACORN is Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE). In Rhode Island and Connecticut the organization is now New England United for Justice.

The role of ACORN in North Carolina is a little more clouded but during my research I found that before the last general election, the organization registered more than 27,000 new voters in North Carolina, most of them in Durham and Charlotte.

Local election officials found that during their investigation of ACORN’s registration practices some forms it filed had information that may have been copied from phone books. Durham County’s elections office turned over about 120 suspect forms to the state for investigation and Wake County’s elections office sent in about 30 suspicious forms.

Admittedly this is a small number but it represents what they found and it doesn’t answer the question, how many did they review out of 27,000. With the 2012 election ahead of us it would be naïve to think that voter fraud will not play a role in Obama’s favor. When you consider that his attorney general, Eric Holder, refused to prosecute three members of the New Black Panther Party on charges of voter intimidation in Philadelphia during the last general election, voter fraud is not much of a stretch.

Undoubtedly Obama will ride a new wave of popularity with the killing of bin Laden but the prospect of voter fraud should be kept on the front burner. There is too much at stake in 2012 and our nation can’t afford another four years of this Socialist. The future freedom of our children and grandchildren depends on his defeat, and that starts now.

STEVE KROFT (60 Minutes) RE: George Soros.

A MUST READ FOR ALL AMERICANS REGARDLESS OF YOUR POLITICAL PERSUASION


From: STEVE KROFT (60 Minutes) RE: George Soros.

As you read this keep in mind two things:

1.. Soros is not an American citizen.
2.. He has always fronted for the Rothschilds and other European banking interests such as Warburg, Schiff, Loeb, Sassoon, and Israel-Seif. This guy is the "point man" of the forces that deliberately are tearing the USA apart from the inside. It is stunning that this editorial was broadcast on Sixty Minutes.

A lot has been written about the influence of Soros, but this is the most comprehensive. It is more credible coming from Steve Kroft (60 Minutes) and a liberal network.

From: STEVE KROFT (60 Minutes):

Glenn Beck has been developing material to show all the ties that Soros has through the nation and world along with his goals. It begins to piece together the rise of Obama and his behavior in leading the nation along with many members of Congress (in particular the Democrats, such as the election of Pelosi recently to the minority leader position in Congress):

This is almost too scary to contemplate. If you have wondered where Obama came from and just how he quickly moved from obscurity to President or why the media is "selective" in what we are told, here is the man who most probably put him there and is responsible. He controls President Obama's every move. Think this is absurd? Invest a few minutes and read this. You won't regret it. Who is Obama? Obama is a puppet and here is the explanation of the man or demon who pulls his strings. It's not by chance that Obama can manipulate the world. I don't think he knows how to tie his shoe laces. After reading this and Obama's reluctance to accept help on the oil spill you wonder if the spill is part of the plan to destroy the US ? "In history, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet someone planned it." [ Franklin Delano Roosevelt ]

Who Is George Soros? He brought the market down in 2 days. Here is what Steve Kroft's (CBS) research has turned up. It's a bit of a read, and it took 4 months to put it together. "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ." George Soros is an evil man. He's anti-God, anti-family, anti-American and anti-good. What we have in Soros, is a multi-billionaire atheist, with skewed moral values, and a sociopath's lack of conscience. He considers himself to be an elitist world-class philosopher, despises the American way, and loves to do social engineering and change cultures.

György Schwartz, better known to the world as George Soros, was born August 12, 1930 in Hungary . Soros' father, Tivadar, was a fervent practitioner of the Esperanto language invented in 1887, and designed to be the first global language, free of any national identity. The Schwartz's, who were non-practicing Jews, changed the family name to Soros in order to facilitate assimilation into the gentile population as the Nazis spread into Hungary during the 1930's.

In his article, Muravchik describes how Soros has admitted to having carried some rather "potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble." Be that as it may, after WWII, Soros attended the London School of Economics where he fell under the thrall of fellow atheist and Hungarian, Karl Popper, one of his professors. Popper was a mentor to Soros until Popper's death in 1994. Two of Popper's most influential teachings concerned "the open society," and fallibilism.

Fallibilism is the philosophical doctrine that all claims of knowledge could, in principle, be mistaken. (Then again, I could be wrong about that..) The "open society" basically refers to a "test and evaluate" approach to social engineering. Regarding "open society," Roy Childs writes, "Since the Second World War, most of the Western democracies have followed Popper's advice about piecemeal social engineering and democratic social reform, and it has gotten them into a grand mess."

In 1956 Soros moved to New York City where he worked on Wall Street and started amassing his fortune. He specialized in hedge funds and currency speculation.. Soros is absolutely ruthless, amoral, and clever in his business dealings, and he quickly made his fortune. By the 1980's he was well on his way to becoming the global powerhouse that he is today. In an article Kyle-Anne Shiver wrote for The American Thinker she says, "Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically, almost overnight."

In 1994 Soros crowed in The New Republic, that "the former Soviet Empire is now called the Soros Empire." The Russia-gate scandal in 1999, which almost collapsed the Russian economy, was labeled by Rep. Jim Leach, then head of the House Banking Committee, to be "one of the greatest social robberies in human history.” "The "Soros Empire" indeed. In 1997 Soros almost destroyed the economies of Thailand and Malaysia . At the time, Malaysia 's Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohammad, called Soros "a villain, and a moron." Thai activist Weng Tojirakarn said, "We regard George Soros as a kind of Dracula. He sucks the blood from the people."

The website Greek National Pride reports, "[Soros] was part of the full court press that dismantled Yugoslavia and caused trouble in Georgia , Ukraine and Myanmar [ Burma ]. Calling himself a philanthropist, Soros' role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New World Order while promoting his own financial gain. He is without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute amorality." France has upheld an earlier conviction against Soros for felony insider trading. Soros was fined 2.9 million dollars. Recently, his native Hungary fined Soros 2.2 million dollars for "illegal market manipulation." Elizabeth Crumb writes that the Hungarian economy has been in a state of transition as the country seeks to become more financially stable and westernized. [Soros'] deliberately driving down the share price of its largest bank put Hungary 's economy into a wicked tailspin, one from which it is still trying to recover.

My point here is that Soros is a planetary parasite. His grasp, greed, and gluttony have a global reach. But what about America ? Soros told Australia 's national newspaper The Australian, " America , as the centre of the globalized financial markets, was sucking up the savings of the world.. This is now over. The game is out," he said, adding that the time has come for "a very serious adjustment" in American's consumption habits. He implied that he was the one with the power to bring this about."

Soros: "World financial crisis was "stimulating" and "in a way, the culmination of my life's work."

Obama has recently promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil , in order to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil fields. Obama's largesse towards Brazil came shortly after his political financial backer, George Soros, invested heavily in Brazilian oil (Petrobras). Tait Trussel writes, "The Petrobras loan may be a windfall for Soros and Brazil , but it is a bad deal for the U.S. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that oil exploration in the US could create 160,000 new, well-paying jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to federal, state, and local governments, all while fostering greater energy security and independence.

A blog you might want to keep an eye on is SorosWatch.com. Their mission: "This blog is dedicated to all who have suffered due to the ruthless financial pursuits of George Soros. Your stories are many and varied, but the theme is the same: the destructive power of greed without conscience. We pledge to tirelessly watch Soros wherever he goes and to print the truth in the hope that he will one day be made to stop preying upon the world's poor, that justice will be served."
Back to America . Soros has been actively working to destroy America from the inside out for some years now. People have been warning us. Two years ago, news sources reported that "Soros [is] an extremist who wants open borders, a one-world foreign policy, legalized drugs, euthanasia, and on and on. This is off-the-chart dangerous." In 1997 Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote, "Soros uses his philanthropy to change or more accurately, deconstruct the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people. His "open society" is not about freedom; it is about license.. His vision rejects the notion of ordered liberty, in favor of a PROGRESSIVE ideology of rights and entitlements."

Perhaps the most important of these "whistle blowers" are David Horowitz and Richard Poe. Their book The Shadow Party outlines in detail how Soros hijacked the Democratic Party, and now owns it lock, stock, and barrel. Soros has been packing the Democratic Party with radicals, and ousting moderate Democrats for years. The Shadow Party became the Shadow Government, which recently became the Obama Administration.

Discover The Networks.org (another good source) writes, "By his [Soros'] own admission, he helped engineer coups in Slovakia , Croatia , Georgia , and Yugoslavia . When Soros targets a country for "regime change," he begins by creating a shadow government, a fully formed government-in-exile, ready to assume power when the opportunity arises. The Shadow Party he has built in America greatly resembles those he has created in other countries prior to instigating a coup."

The November 2008 edition of the German magazine Der Spiegel, in which Soros gives his opinion on what the next POTUS (President of the U. S. ) should do after taking office. "I think we need a large stimulus package." Soros thought that around 600 billion dollars would be about right. Soros also said that, "I think Obama presents us a great opportunity to finally deal with global warming and energy dependence. The U. S. needs a cap-and-trade system with auctioning of licenses for emissions rights."

Although Soros doesn't (yet) own the Republican Party, like he does the Democrats, make no mistake, his tentacles are spread throughout the Republican Party as well.

Soros is a partner in the Carlyle Group where he has invested more than 100 million dollars. According to an article by The Baltimore Chronicle's Alice Cherbonnier, the Carlye Group is run by "a veritable who's who of former Republican leaders," from CIA man Frank Carlucci, to CIA head and [ex-President] George Bush, Sr.

In late 2006, Soros bought about 2 million shares of Halliburton, Dick Cheney's old stomping grounds. When the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions in 2000, Soros held Shadow Party conventions in the same cities, at the same time. In 2008, Soros donated $5,000,000,000 (that's five billion) to the Democratic National Committee, DNC, to insure Obama's win and wins for many other Alinsky-trained Radical Rules, Anti-American Socialists. George has been contributing a billion dollars plus to the DNC since Clinton came on the scene.

Soros has dirtied both sides of the aisle, trust me. And if that weren't bad enough, he has long held connections with the CIA. And I mustn't forget to mention Soros' involvement with the MSM (Main Stream Media), the entertainment industry (e.g., he owns 2.6 million shares of Time Warner), and the various political advertising organizations to which he funnels millions. In short, George Soros controls or influences most of the mainstream media. Little wonder they ignore the TEA PARTY, Soros's NEMESIS.

As Matthew Vadum writes, "The liberal billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives." Richard Poe writes, "Soros' private philanthropy, totaling nearly $5 billion, continues undermining America 's traditional Western values. His giving has provided funding of abortion rights, atheism, drug legalization, sex education, euthanasia, gun control, globalization, mass immigration, gay marriage and other radical experiments in social engineering."

Some of the many NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that Soros funds with his billions are: MoveOn.org, the Apollo Alliance (which wrote the Stimulus bill), Media Matters for America , the Tides Foundation, the ACLU, ACORN, PDIA (Project on Death In America ), La Raza, and many more. For a more complete list, with brief descriptions of the NGOs, go to DiscoverTheNetworks..org.

(AND GETS TAX FREE NON-PROFIT STATUS!)
 Poe continues, "Through his global web of Open Society Institutes and Open Society Foundations, Soros has spent 25 years recruiting, training, indoctrinating and installing a network of loyal operatives in 50 countries, placing them in positions of influence and power in media, government, finance and academia."

Without Soros' money, would Saul Alinsky's Chicago machine still be rolling? Would SEIU, ACORN, and La Raza still be pursuing their nefarious activities? Would Big Money and lobbyists still be corrupting government? Would our college campuses still be retirement homes for 1960's radicals?

America stands at the brink of an abyss, and that fact is directly attributable to Soros . Soros has vigorously, cleverly, and insidiously planned the ruination of America and his puppet, Barack Obama is leading the way.

The words of Patrick Henry are so appropriate: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

First Black Tea Party Forms in Houston

Anita MonCrief, infamous ACORN whistleblower, went on Sean Hannity's radio show this Thursday to discuss the founding of America's first black Tea Party.


Named after the first person to die in the Revolutionary War, the Crispus Attucks Tea Party was founded yesterday, January 18th, 2011, at "This Is It" soul food restaurant in the heart of Houston, Texas' 18th district. (Read the interesting original court documents about the "Boston Massacre," including a dramatic description of Attucks' slaying, here.)

The 18th district is represented by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, and was the focal point of rampant ACORN-style vote fraud and widespread voter intimidation this past November. It is thus fitting that this tea party had its inaugural meeting right down the street from Lee's residence.

With the typical politesse and considerate attitude of conservatives -- always left unreported by the press (do ya think?) -- Rep. Lee was extended an invitation to the event. And with typical leftist rudeness, Lee snubbed it. Wonder why? These are her constituents, after all.

Aren’t they?

The local Fox News channel reporting on the event hastened to observe that many attendees at this founding meeting were white. Simply unbelievable. Is it not even possible to attend an event in support of this exciting new group without the information being somehow skewed by the media to suggest that it wasn't "authentic" because white people were there???

One blogger put up a hilarious parody of liberal hypocrisy, observing that if they could get away with it, liberals would report the event as: White Tea Party Racists Attend Black Tea Party.

Well, never mind. The times they are a changin'! Yes they are, and the media is getting the message, whether they want to hear it or not. We are not going away.

Could the party of treason turn any further to the left?

The new executive director of the Democratic National Committee is one Patrick Gaspard. Most people have never heard of Patrick Gaspard.


FROM TEA PARTY NATION:

Some in the Tea Party movement argue there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the Republican and Democrat parties. Those who argue this point need to take a look at what is going on in the party of treason.


The GOP is certainly not perfect. Although, at Tea Party Nation, we generally advocate allying with conservative Republicans, the Democrats have jump whole-heartedly into the lap of socialism. There is not even a pretense anymore.

The new executive director of the Democratic National Committee is one Patrick Gaspard. Most people have never heard of Patrick Gaspard.

Currently Gaspard does for Obama what Karl Rove did for George W. Bush. Becoming executive director of the DNC means that he will run the day-to-day operations of the DNC. He will control the DNC machinery.

And he is a total and committed socialist.

Gaspard joined the White House with a confusing resume that includes stints at ACORN, the SEIU and the Working Families Party. In Acorn, he was the political director for New York. In 2007, Gaspard became a registered lobbyist for SEIU. (Say, didn’t Obama say something about no lobbyists working for him?).

In 2001, Gaspard sent a letter saying that he was working for the Working Families Party in New York. The WFP is a small 3rd party in New York that is a socialist party. The WFP was also the political party for ACORN.

The ACORN tree is kept deliberately vague. Something like a mafia family trying to hide from the Feds. But there is no doubt that Gaspard is up to his ears in it. Gaspard is a student of Alinisky and like Obama grew up idolizing radical communists who hated this country and wanted to see this country turned into a socialist hellhole.

And this man is now running the DNC.

The conservative wing of the Democratic Party can forget about anything now. Oh, wait; the party of treason no longer has a conservative wing. The socialists in the Democratic Party have done a good job of purging conservatives from the party, at least at the national level. Can anyone name a conservative Democrat in the House or Senate? Not a moderate, a conservative. Someone who is branded a conservative by a conservative rating, such as the American Conservative Union’s ratings?

Gaspard’s ties to ACORN should trouble anyone, other than committed socialists, which is why you will hear no complaints from the Democratic Party. Recently in Las Vegas, a former Executive with ACORN, Amy Busefink, was convicted of voter fraud. ACORN itself will go on trial in April for voter fraud. In 2008, ACORN tried to register over 400,000 fake voters in Nevada, a state of only 2.6 million. Busefink also worked with Project Vote. Another distinguished alumni of Project Vote, a subsidiary of ACORN, is Barack Obama.

Socialism is the enemy of freedom and the Democratic Party should probably now be called the Socialist Party. Almost everyone in the leadership of the party of treason at one time or another was a member of a socialist party, from the Democratic Socialists of America, to the New Party to the Working Families Party.

When Ronald Reagan went to the White House thirty years ago this month, he set a goal of destroying Soviet Communism. He succeeded. We must set a goal of destroying socialism in this country before it is too late.
